3.
Help
keep
Britain
tidy
- and
help
yourself.
Bottle
tops, silver paper and
tin
cans are
the
last
things
you
should
throwaway.
You
could
well be digging
them
up
again
next
year. Do
yourself
and
the
community
a favour
by
taking all the
rusty
junk
you
find
to
the nearest
litter
bin.
4.
Do
not
trespass. Ask permission
before
venturing
on
to
any private land.
5. Report all unusual historical finds
to
the
local museum and get expert help
if
you
accidentally
discover a site
of
archaeological interest.
6.
If
you
discover any live
ammunition
or
any
lethal object such
as
an
unexploded mine,
do
not
touch
it.
Mark the site
carefully
and
report
the
find
at once
to
the local Police.
7. Learn the Treasure
Trove
laws and
report
all finds
of
gold
or
silver objects
to
the
Police.
If
a
Coroner's inquest
finds
that
the objects were deliberately concealed
with
the
intention
of
retrieving
them,
they
become
the
property
of
the
Crown
and therefore Treasure Trove.
But
even
if
the
British Museum decides
to
exercise its right
to
keep
the
property,
the
finder
is
granted the
full
market
value.
8. Respect
the
Country
Code.
Do
not
leave gates open when crossing fields, and
do
not
damage
crops
or
frighten
animals.
9. Never miss an
opportunity
to
show and explain
your
detector
to
anyone
who
asks
about
it.
Be
friendly.
You
could
pick
up
some useful clues
to
another site.
If
you
meet
another
detector
user,
introduce
yourself. You may learn much
about
the
hobby
from
each
other.
10. Remember
that
when
you
are
out
with
your
detector,
you
are
an
ambassador
for
the
amateur
treasure
hunting
fraternity.
Do
not
give us a bad name.
G. CARE
AND
MAINTENANCE
CARE OF
YOUR
DETECTOR
Storage
When
not
in
use
your
detector
should be stored in a
dry
and warm environment.
If
it
is
not
to
be
used
for
a certain length
of
time
it
is
advisable
to
remove
the
batteries
to
avoid leakage
which
could
cause
serious damage.
The
working
life
of
your
detector
will
be
shortened
by
careless
use
or
neglect
of
the
unit.
Th ink
of
your
detector
as
a
scientific
instrument
NOT
A
TOY.
Your
detector
is
designed
to
withstand
rugged
handling on any terrain,
but
mis-use
or
lack
of
due
attention
will
tell in the end.
After
using
your
detector
in
a hostile
environment
(salt water, sand, etc.) the
exterior
parts
of
the
casing should be flushed
with
clean fresh water, paying particular
attention
to
the head, and cal'"efully
wiped
dry.
Salt Damage
If
you
use
your
detector
continually
in
a salty
environment,
particularly
when
the
wind
is
blowing
off
the
sea,
salty
air can penetrate the
control
box.
Corrosion can
occur
in vital parts
of
the delicate electronic
circuitry.
It
is
therefore recommended
that
precautions such
as
covering
the
control
box
with
polythene
be
taken
to
avoid damage.
The guarantee cannot cover such occurrences and
any
repairs needed because
of
salt water
or
spray
will
be charged.
Detector
Not
Operating
la) Check the
condition
of
batteries under load using meter.
(See
Battery Check Procedure)
(b) Check
that
the search head
is
properly
attached
to
the
control
box
via
the
search head
cable connector.
